Prompt Answer: Memorable Road Trip

Think back on your most memorable road trip.

Living as transient a life as I have, I can’t pick just one.

Fall 1991: the cross country meander from Chicago to Tamarac, Florida with my mother.

Thanksgiving weekend 1996: the move back to Illinois with my two brothers, mother, and stepfather in the back of a massive van.

Spring break 2009: the road trip to New Orleans. Where I got a cabbage lobbed at my head at the Saint Patrick’s Day parade and a graveyard ate my flip flop.

Summer 2014: moving to Texas with my cat Spock.

May 2016: moving back to Florida with my cat Spock to Orange City.

June 2019: the Tampa to Tallahassee road trip with my now ex-wife and my still best friend J to a candy store I still follow online.

July 2022: the eventful trip from Tampa to Chicago with my brother Aaron and cat Spock, who still hates road trips. A fun time. Exploding tire and all.

More recently, the road trip in June 2023, the weekend my mother passed away, to Ohio to see J and their husband Charles.

So many memories.
